Hi, my name is Yurixa, but everyone calls me Yuri. This is my story. I arrived at an orphanage at the age of 13 due to parental neglect as a result of their frequent drug abuse. At the orphanage, I learned a lot about values that I am very grateful for today.

I met Corazon de Vida while in high school. They offered me a scholarship so I could pursue my career. I proudly got my certification in Cosmetology. I have always liked all things beauty and thought I could one day do something with it. CDV helped me throughout my studies.

Thank God, these days I'm doing very well. I have a great job and a great family! I operate my own business from my home where I have a dedicated salon studio. When I am not working, I love spending time with my family.

To all the donors, may you continue to support Corazon de Vida students. You are making their dreams come true.
